PickeringPost: The Clinton Foundation agreed to notify the State Department of any foreign donations. This was to ensure there were no conflicts of interest with foreign governments seeking goodwill with the Secretary of State by donating money to what was then her husband’s foundation.
The FBI, the State Department and Congress are currently investigating why Mrs Clinton used a private email server for official communications during her term as Secretary of State, and what may have been in the 30,000 emails she and her staff deleted.
Some of her staff have taken the Fifth and have refused to testify. Take one guess why.
Julie Bishop’s DFAT could throw some serious light on these emails but the chances of that happening are zero.
She wisely brought AusAID, (the vehicle used for at least $75 million in Australian donations to the Clinton Foundation) under the auspices of DFAT for reasons of “security”. (It’s more likely that she convinced Abbott it was a savings measure.)
Gillard didn’t give a stuff about security, she was too busy currying favour with US Democrats.
Bishop’s DFAT has 2,521 Australian staff (of whom 1875 are based in Australia), plus another 1771 locally engaged staff, a total of 4292. And she is determined to expand this number along with the aid budget that was slashed by Abbott and Hockey. She has never forgiven them for that.
The Boston Globe alleges Clinton failed to disclose all its foreign “donations” to the Department of State as agreed. It reported that foreign government “donations” had doubled from $US26m in 2010 to $US56m in 2013 with no corresponding reporting. MORE
